SUMMARY: ARCHITECTURE
Architecture is a very broad and humanistic field that is at the same time technical,
artistic and social. Traditionally, architecture courses are always found at the
crossing of those domains. The profession of architect demands a certain ability to
synthesize information coming from very different areas, and architects often
assume the position of leader, mediator or centralizer in groups made of very
different specialists. Today, however, the broad scope of construction, the demand
for a wide array of different structures and the general tendency to specialization,
very present in the construction field, have resulted in architecture being often
divided in several different specializations.
The aim of this course is to give students a firm basis on the many elements that
contribute to architectural design as well as an idea as to what section of the field
they may be best suited to.
